[lunatico0258]

@hippyamp HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH­AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

His best music approach is at 0:58.

[gryffindor863]

@philblues1 you mean when he burped?

[philblues1]

@gryffindor863

Yes, I'am afraid..............

[christianfff]

t/u if you heard his burp, had to rewind to make sure, then checked the comments, saw multiple ppl mentioned it, then had a little chuckle

[MajorHC]

where is jazz?

[ijat54]

wow

[Cocox2]

i literally want to punch you in the face... fag... i cant stop thinking that you taught a cool jazz lesson and you came up with this BLUES shit....

[ALFIMIO]

0:57...burp....this video is a burp

[ALFIMIO]

0:57....a great burp...like his playing

[zxssded]

its funny...cause first...he has a metalish necklaces...a skull on his shirt...and most off all...using a strat...amazing musicaian....

[fishqwer]

@zxssded Nothing wrong with a strat for jazz!!!

[zxssded]

@fishqwer well...theres nothing wrong with it...but...its not idel...out of the whole shop...he couldnt find a...gretch...or a gibson...or even an epihone? lol

[fishqwer]

@zxssded It's more of a Toronto jazz thing, but a lot of the musicians in my area use humbucker equipped teles. Probably due to the influence of Ed Bickert. (Definitely look him up if you haven't heard of him.) I know that had nothing to do with strats, but still...

[CoolKwstas123]

That so called "Expert Village" needs a Napalm to blow in their faces so they wont keep making videos shit like this

[simonate1]

this guy looks more death metal than jazz

[timninerell]

@simonate1 not at all...

[KennyParkz]

@simonate1 it's that lil goatess hahha

[hiddenpunk291]

im starting to notice that no-one on this channel seems to know what they're talking about... not competently anyway

[BassFace68]

In England we would call him a numpty;full of himself bullsh***er.Glad I'm not spending my hard earned on lessons at his place.Wanker

[jagjaghuh]

This guy is so dumb

[HeaVeNeRq8]

John Armstrong has been teaching guitar at Keller Music for over 15 years now. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[mlunacantu]

Did I click on the Wrong Jazz Guitar Video,,

Thought I heard Him say he was A Professional Guitar Instructer ??

[tin11987]

no jazz...go suck a dick

[dmitryWeirdo]

Lesson about nothing. Everyone knows simple pentatonic box. Where's jazz?

[claybob182]

He burps at like 58 seconds lol

[tatzor]

@claybob182 HAHAHAH

[jazzharmonie]

[jazzharmonie]

Speak too much ...lesson for mini babies guitar blues

[go2sheol]

yes he did hahaha!!!!!!

[insaneinthebrain1978]

did he burp at 0:57 ???

[n00bdirect]

how much cocaine did this idiot snort before doing this video?

[bukkakechamp]

ok show me guitar players that use strats for jazz i really wana see this and the only time a jazz guitarist would really use a straight up pentatonic scale is for like a jazzy blues its still considered more of a blues though and btw i know all my scales and how to use them

[melodicolatino]

@bukkakechamp Buy the Jerry Bergonzi book that I'm refering to, you'll be amazed how many uses the pentatonic scale has, specially for jazz.

[melodicolatino]

Great jazz guitar player Peter O'Mara has a vido here on youtube about Pentatonics in Jazz. Do a search for jazzguitarcomplete and you'll see it.

[matineesuxxx]

bukkakechamp? ... lol haha why man.. why haha

[bigafromusclekid]

@bukkakechamp Bill Frisell



[readypasta]

he burps 0:58:)))))

[azoterock]

so...where is the jazz???

[bukkakechamp]

hmm the whole thing about strats is the single coil pickups sound really twangy and when you play jazz your going for a full sound. The only person i have seen pull off a strat with heavy jazz influences is eric johnson but he has a very full sound, and really knows how to get a great tone.

[melodicolatino]

@bukkakechamp Heard a lot of people playing jazz on a start. You just have to tweak the tone to get a fat tone using the neck pickup. Sound great.

[bukkakechamp]

this video is a fail your way better just using the major scale for jazz instead of the pentatonic. Plus he is using a fender strat no jazz musician would ever use a fender strat u need a f hole guitar or at least something with humbuckers.

[yngvaigilbsteen]

@bukkakechamp  they should use strats. lol True though....I only use a strat when I play pop gigs. Having said that, I have seen other Jazz players use a strat on a gig (say outdoors in the dead of summer) when they don't want to subject their 10,000 dollar hollows to the elements. They just roll their tone knobs down....and they're golden. : )

[melodicolatino]

Lot of people use their starts to play jazz, just go for a lot of bass and mid. About scales, the pentatonic scale is used a lot in jazz along with every scale, melodic minor, harmonic minor and their modes, major scale and its modes, whole tone, diminished...You can't leave the pentatonic. Although there is nothing about jazz in this video.

[hayta1001]

bluestard

[MaxxxZotti]

"Expert" village...LOL

[crilledisst]

the guy actually burped at 0:57 hahaha

[danlovesnan]

@crilledisst

and he also speaks like a tractor driver...I am a tractor driver, so I know that.

[onemorebrando]

awesome burp at 1:00.

good post all around.

[BeatmanMyth]

@onemorebrando I didnt even catch that burp at first. but when I played the video the second time I heard it and LMAO lol

[BipolarBearry]

I didn't hear any jazz...

[Cocox2]

hahahha "we can play jazz with the pentatonic scale" and then he plays this shitty blues

[SantomPh]

John McLaughlin said : "Without blues there is not rhythm and blues, without Rhythm and Blues there is no Jazz."

he could have added a couple of notes for jazzy effect though.

[TevinDP]

@Cocox2 Jazz originated from blues.It makes plenty of sense

[HitaroX]

@TevinDP you're wrong, blues originated from jazz

[TevinDPaul]

@HitaroX you're right.I was thinking backwards!

[bastardoi]

@HitaroX Actually Blues and Jazz developed in the USA almost simultaneously but in different parts of the US.

The parts that were more influenced by europeans and classical music tended to develop more into jazz, while parts where slaves from Africa were abused tended to develop more blues...

So no, neither Blues comes from Jazz nor does Jazz come from blues, although they influenced each other in the early part of the 1900's... But you can play Jazz Blues and Bluesette if you want =)

[TevinDP]

@Cocox2 Jazz originated from blues.It makes sense

[TevinDP]

@Cocox2 Jazz originated from blues.It makes sense

[vecernicek2]

@TevinDP, what actually does not make sense is that someone on such a level of musical development calls himself a professional guitar instructor.

[TevinDPaul]

@vecernicek2 True.If I was just starting to play guitar,I might not know what he's talking about.

[BellaKoei]

@TevinDP Are you serious?!?!? Dude blues totally originated from jazz.  Whow...open a book

[TevinDPaul]

@BellaKoei you're right. I was thinking backwards!

[Cocox2]

@TevinDP thats like saying "metal came out from dragonforce"

[trashcanman89]

fag

[smithfam4]

did you come up with that insult by yourself?

[largepiece]

So it isn't jazz, so what? At least he's put a video up. The number of fools whining and bitching about the quality of youtube instructional videos amazes me. You're getting it for free, stop flippin complaining.

[BeatmanMyth]

@largepiece not to start any more trouble but yea its free, but the problem is that is misleading. If I told you, "you can keep my HOUSE for free" but then give you a run down apartment you'd be pretty bothered. yes my analogy is over the top but you get my point I hope.

[juauqxz]

do you know what jazz is?

[AnthoniJi]

what is Jazz?

[Arcand651]

douche, why are you trying to play that shit? you look like you should be in hatebreed

[Ruttna]

totaly agree hes a retard

[fujosej]

stupid

[daud16able]

this bald man is so too confident. I dont like him! punk!

[apocatie34]

This jackass is a disgrace to us real jazz players

[emixolydian]

this guy is a retard.

[bula92]

That's not jazz at all pal.. that's blues..

[daud16able]

I agree with bula92. that's blues, not jazz..

[ffdff]

no, it's not even blues...it's just about nothing:D...

[5656bigsteve]

Kinda nice when it stops.

[dzorvel]

lol'd

[zero093]

he is so full of himself

[djazzlounge]

You're not a jazz guy although you may dream about it rather be become a TV commercial presenter or an MLM tutor...may be you're retired punk rock guy trying now messing around with jazz...you need the feeling for that even if you explain it...take care,cause we're not stupid...

[enricocrosato]

what you play has few to do with jazz! i agree that pentatonic scale is good for jazz soloing (it is good for soloing in every context) but i'd suggest to play some musical examples more in context.

[aapsoldaat]

dude... you are bald... and you burp...

just don't do that..

THAT'S just asking for a fucked up life men!

[wizardofchron]

if somebody is trying to learn jazz i highly doubt that they are unfamiliar with the minor pentatonic, the fist scale you teach to a 12 year old acdc fan.

u gaseous fuck

[johnnydacoustic]

Yeah ! that BURP was....yuk...

[jun0203]

Not jazz...

[enricocrosato]

not at all!

[XarezX]

lol 0:57

[jerydab]

0:58 jaja

[Tarry182]

lol did he burp when he played the scale?:P

[Dread098]

i think he actually did 8D

[invaderzim908]

0:57 BURP!

[samstallard00]

Definitely

[eatme765wes]

hahaha

[regisconde]

It's a "how to Burp" class?

[feralmusic]

chill out, people. it's a free lesson,.

- 5 pentatonic forms for every major and minor key. this instructor was showing the G-form pentatonic in A minor starting at the A root note- which is based on the G chord shape. there's 5 notes in the pentatonic scale: 1, b3, 4,5, b7 for minor keys. 1,2,3,5,6 for major keys. the 5 forms spell out CAGED. in minor keys, C-form starts on the 5th step (6th string), A-form on the b7, G-form on the root (1), E-form on the b3, and D-form on the 4th.

[kleinball]

everything this guy does annoys me...especially when he plays that stupid vibrato all over the place.

[7bloodi]

where was the jazz in this? This guy is an idiot, why show the pentatonic, im sure anyone looking to learn some jazz can play the pentatonic inside out, thanks for nothing bro.

[juliovac]

hahahahah ur right

[flipoarnold]

hahahahaa, true true

[asxefv]

expert village sucks

[soylentkris]

No jazz on a Strat, I guess someone forgot to tell Larry Carlton, Scott Henderson, Lee Ritenour, Chieli Menucci, and other those other cats who have recorded and played live jazz on a Strat.

It is what you play, not what you play it on. I'm pretty sure that John Scofield could pick up a BC Rich Bich with a Kahler and play jazz on it.

[soylentkris]

Yes this is really more of a beginners blues lesson. Truth be told, all that early Charlie Parker stuff was all blues changes anyway, but what this guy is playing is NOT jazz.

Also, enough with the Jazz on a Strat comments. I play jazz on my Strat every so often. If I'm doing a wedding gig and have an hour of cocktail jazz to play before the pop stuff, I play it on the Strat, Les Paul, etc... I am certainly not going to bring a separate guitar for one set.

[feetloverzz]

Burp...lol...yeah real nice scale.....pff

[KizZamP92]

that was the worst lesson i've ever seen actually...

[BeverlyHillsUp]

That BLUES you bald fuck, someone please help

me with this stuff.

[hombremurcielago4]

yeah dude you obviously can't play jazz with a stratocaster duhh stfu cheesnacho7

[ziemass]

thats blues you asssholes

[aldrond]

Your solo's classy ! Very powerful notes, like it! :-)

[cheesenacho7]

wow are you seriously playing "jazz" with a stratocaster???

[klookmopify]

Why the hell not,

[klub4]

lol rofl haha did he just burp lol

[iroam22]

ur not a good teacher....ur to big headed

[edgarSmile]

LOL!! burp!! that was fuckin funny!!

[Dread098]

ajajaja el chabón se tira un eructo

[JamesWilliamson82]

Yeah, I would like to transpose that burp at 0:58 into my playing

[korgsynth20]

rofl

[petpan83]

ma a un certo punto fa un rotto!

[flats83]

si!!! =) lolol

[CousinBand]

i fuckin hate that guitar!

[superdukky]

i agree. ive alwaqys hated them

[yak6ex]

Why? I don't either and I don't know why.

[caboose1289]

This guy is fucking weird.

[emixolydian]

seriously.

[pooshe]

rofl did he burp!!

[LaniiNexxxxxx]

think so...

[OMERTA011]

did he fucking burp?

[omko73]

lol , yup right @ 0:58

[GecSword]

I am in love with that guitar tone.

Keep in mind this is coming from a bassist who generally doesn't like the sounds that come from most guitars.

[123abyss123]

considering a bass is a guitar thats really something.

[GecSword]

Debatable. Yes a "bass guitar" is a type of guitar, but they are generally viewed as different instruments, just because the range of the bass is identical to the range of the double bass - so a bass guitar is much more like a double bass with the profile of a guitar.

Not "exactly" the same thing.

[JimiJaamz]

This vid is like a carpenter working on plumbing...:/

[318825768]

He has the wrong guitar to play Jazz!

Get an Ibanez GB 10

[thejazzman8]

modes....harmonic minors....melodic minors even....learn those if you want to play jazz....and a bebop scale too....this is not jazz.....you'd be thrown out of a jazz club if you played that....

[magicdevil97]

yo an all of expert vilige do not tell any one any thing .......show offs

[RodneySTR]

that wasnt the dude in the back ground bringing his lunch up at 58 seconds... that was the guitarist himself :D lol

[bungholio80]

Hm i usually try to stay away from pentatonic when playing jazz...dumb

[melodicolatino]

Why? It is used in jazz a lot , but it is not the only scale used. Joe Pass used it, Wes Montgomery used it, Pat Martino use it. Don't know any jazz musician who don't use it. They use other scales too like the melodic minor, harmonic minor , bebop scales, wholetone scale, diminished...

[melodicolatino]

Jerry Bergonzi(a saxophone jazz player) wrote a whole book about pentatonics, the examples are in jazz.

[guga380]

jazz? sounds like blues

[impossibleznothing]

someone burps at 58 seconds lol

[MackleJack]

blah blah blah blah, fucking play you monkey

[salesman990]

im a professional duschebag

[sunburststratocaster]

it sounds like hes chewing on something

[anthoneycrunch]

He's making me nervous

[Trevb17]

this is more like blues...but yeah I like it

[chillichomper]

Diatonic means "normal" or 7 note scale. Pentatonic means 5 note scale. Ok now the difference between a pentatonic major and a normal major, aka ionian mode, is that the pentatonic major is missing the 2nd and the 6th. What that has to do with Jazz beats me but I hate it when ppl throw around terms and don't explain them. Cheers and happy shredding.

[zachNewYork]

Amphibians (class Amphibia), such as frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and gymnophiona, are cold-blooded animals that metamorphose from a juvenile, water-breathing form to an adult, air-breathing form. Typically, amphibians have four limbs. Unlike other land animals (amniotes), amphibians lay eggs in water, as their fish ancestors did. Amphibians are superficially similar to reptiles.

[dedios03]

wrong video dude

[HarryBallbag]

I was just thinking the same. Silly me, the "professional guitar instructor" nailed jazz so thoroughly with his talk of pentatonics, I almost forgot about the gymnophiona! Perhaps the dude bringing his lunch up in the background (at 58 seconds) put me off! Apparently he takes a dump in the next installment.
